Chapter 1366 1042. Attacking Shicheng County (Part 1)

In the slightly dark room, Duan Qilin's eyes were deep and changing all the time.

This is enough to show that he is struggling violently inside.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of the soldiers on both sides, it is unlikely that the 40,000 imperial guards could be able to stop the more than 20,000 imperial guards of the Song State.

In other words, staying in the imperial city is first of all a risky move. Even Duan Qilin may stay here forever, and there is no chance to make a comeback.

And block the Song army...

The Dali imperial guards would probably end up losing both sides.

"well……"

After all, Duan Qilin's eyes dimmed and he sighed softly.

Even though he is a genius who is unparalleled in the Guigu Academy and Pojun Academy, he feels a little powerless at this moment.

Because even if he was lucky enough to destroy the Song army led by Liu Zhuwen, Zhang Hongwei and others, his imperial city's troops would be empty. At that time, he would not even be able to suppress those tribes.

And who dares to assert that those tribes will not take advantage of the situation?

The Duan family has dominated Dali for so long, and I think those tribal leaders have been ready to move early and want to try the taste of the throne.

Duan Qilin stood up and walked out of the room.

On that night, he ordered the commander of the imperial guards of the imperial city to lead his army to Shu.

Then one night passed.

Just the next morning, Duan Qilin led many civil and military officials and their families in the imperial city to leave Dali imperial city and head towards Chengdu Prefecture along the northeast.

The crowd was crowded.

If the people who followed the army were added, there would probably be more than 100,000 people.

During the years when Duan was in Dali, he naturally had some prestige in the imperial city. Many people were willing to leave with them.

Every dynasty has no shortage of such people, unless it is the kind that makes people angry and resentful.

Duan Qilin and his mother sat in the dragon chasing, with countless imperial guards beside him. He looked back from time to time and looked towards the palace.

If it were not for absolutely no way, he would have been reluctant to give up Dali.

"well……"

The Empress Dowager Dali sighed quietly beside her and said, "I have lived in the palace for more than 20 years. I have never thought that I would leave one day."

Duan Qilin showed a slight guilty look next to him, "The child is incompetent, please forgive me. When I arrive in Shu, the child will build an imperial palace for his mother. After a while, the child will take back Dali from the hands of the State of Song! Let the mother return to this Dali palace to live."

The Empress Dowager smiled softly and touched Duan Qilin's face, "Nothing is important. I only need you to be safe and sound. Your father and I will lose the most money in our life."

Duan Qilin's eyes were red.

This is probably the softest part deep in his heart.

He may not care about the lives of the soldiers, nor do he care about the lives of the soldiers in other countries. Even the people in the Guigu Academy and Pojun Academy were just chess pieces to him.

But only the deceased father Duan Xingzhi and the mother who is close to him are the people he cares about the most.

He had resentment before.

But as the Emperor of Dali, he also understood Duan Xingzhi's helplessness at the beginning. When he sent his parents and children to wander in Shu, Duan Xingzhi and the Empress Dowager Dali were suffering from endless pain.

Duan Qilin didn't say anything, but said to himself in his heart: "I will definitely take down the State of Song in my life!"

The crowd that was so far away that they could not even see the end finally left the Dali Imperial City, and became farther and farther away from the Imperial City.

The originally extremely majestic imperial city is not so shocking from a distance.

Countless soldiers in the crowd, and the people lingered.

If there is nothing to do, who would want to leave his hometown?

For people of this era, their hometown is the root. No matter how much wealth you have or how great your achievements are, they can only be rootless floating duckweed.

...

Ezhou, Longxing Prefecture and Jianning Prefecture are still in a confrontation between the two armies. Although Yuan general Baharal, Zhen Jin and others learned that Jiangling Prefecture and Fuzhou were defeated, they did not lead the army to retreat. They were obviously waiting, waiting for the news of the two dynasties to discuss peace completely. If this matter is not settled, the two dynasties will not be truly completed.

Only outside Longxing Prefecture, after Zhenjin handed over the command power to the deputy commander of the army, he led more than ten entourages from the army to quietly leave the camp.

He received a letter from the Imperial City and learned that Kublai Khan was ill in bed, he really did not dare to delay at all.

Let’s not talk about whether this has anything to do with filial piety. But if the news of Kublai Khan’s illness spread and the prince was far away on the frontier, it would cause undercurrents in the imperial city.

After all, although he was the prince, there were too many people in the imperial city eyeing the supreme throne.

You know, Kublai Khan only has ten sons.

Except for the eldest son Duoer who died early, the other eight brothers may have the idea of ​​stealing his position as the Prince of Gold, regardless of whether they have the strength or not.

As the prince's true gold naturally has to be cautious.

As soon as he left the camp, he led the entourages to bypass Panyang Lake at an extremely fast speed and headed into Jiangnan East Road.

He only needs to go directly to Lin'an Prefecture, the former capital of the Song Dynasty, and then board the ship directly from Lin'an Prefecture to the coast of Daxing Prefecture in Yuan. At that time, it will not take long to arrive in Zhongdu.

This is the most time-saving method, and it is also the safest method.

I think in the vast ocean, even if some people get news to assassinate him, it will be difficult to hit his ship.

It was soon late at night again.

Zhang Hongwei, Liu Zhuwen, and Miao Cheng led the army to the outside of Shicheng County.

Although the sunset was gradually setting, less than half of the soldiers in the army began to camp outside the city. The rest of the soldiers rushed directly towards Shicheng County.

And all the soldiers who pressed into the city were holding the Shenlong gun in their hands.

The three special forces, including the Heavenly Power Divine Thunder, the Heavenly Secret Tiger, and the Tianxian Shending Ding, are arranged in front of the formation.

In front of them, more than 300 grenade launchers were facing the east wall of Shicheng County. On this trip, they came to attack Song, and Liu Zhuwen and others did not even carry gun chariots in their army.

Because I feel it is unnecessary.

The gunboat is too important and transport is inconvenient.

In addition to the grenade launcher, there are still more than 300 hot air balloons in the air, which are ready to go.

The power of the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty was really like a black cloud covering the city.

Every soldier in the army was eyeing this Shicheng County, and his murderous aura stirred up the storm.

On the top of the city, Bai Zhengxin, the governor of Shicheng County, stood in the middle of the city. He held his hands on his back and looked at the dark imperial guards of the Song Dynasty, with no waves in his eyes.

Only around him, there were only a few garrisons in Shicheng County on the city wall.

Duan Qilin's army of hundreds of thousands of troops attacked the Song Dynasty really made the country very empty.

Maybe others don’t know it, but as the governor of Shicheng County, Bai Zhengxin naturally knew it very well. At this time, there were less than two thousand defenders in Shicheng County.

There were actually two thousand, but only the Song army was over 20,000, and many soldiers had left the army without authorization.

How could this little man stop the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty?

But as Liu Zhuwen said, Bai Zhengxin was an old minister of Dali. Over the years, he was gradually promoted from an ordinary person to the magistrate of Shicheng County by Duan Xingzhi, and he inherited too much imperial grace.

This kind of emperor favor made Bai Zhengxin willing to die for the Duan family of Dali.

At his age, he has taken many things lightly, including his life. Even if he doesn't die now, he may not be able to live for many years.

Instead of surviving and continuing to live, it is better to repay Duan Xingzhi with his life. At least if people in the future talk about him, Bai Zhengxin, they would never say that he was a coward.

"Soldiers!"

The elderly Bai Zhengxin slowly pulled out his sword from his waist and shouted at the surrounding Shicheng County guards: "So for the country!"

"So for the country to die!"

"So for the country to die!"

Such a sound sounded like a tide in the army.

In recent years in Shicheng County, Bai Zhengxin's political achievements have been quite impressive and he still has great prestige in Shicheng County.

At this time, in addition to more than a thousand defenders on the city wall, there were even many people standing on the city wall.

And such shouts were naturally spread to the Song army outside the city.

Liu Zhuwen, Miao Cheng and Zhang Hongwei were looking at the city wall with a telescope. The scene where the old Bai Zhengxin drew his sword naturally fell into their eyes.

Liu Zhuwen sighed slowly and said, "Bai Zhengxin is really a loyal and righteous minister. It's a pity that he was born in this Dali..."

He undoubtedly admired Bai Zhengxin.

Unfortunately, I also understood in my heart that it was almost impossible to surrender Bai Zhengxin.
